White chocolate/chocolate rain/black Tuesday

IMO - no chance a White Chocolate scores a Chocolate Rain.

I do, however, think you could potentially land a rare or kh+ or BCBVS+

who knows....just drink 'em!

 

WC will not land chocolate rain

 

i would be willing to bet close to 100% of the people who got chocolate rain also were able to get white chocolate, but i guess nothing is impossible.

 

White Chocolate is more plentiful and possibly a little less $$ than Chocolate Rain, so I think that makes it less likely to do it straight up 1:1. Plus, vast majority who have CR has access to WC, making the trade less likely as well.

If you want to cough up a WC, BT & CR for a Rare, I'm your guy. . . but I think you're giving up too much frankly.

I think all three bruery beers are better than KH + BCBVS.

 

Drink them first, then decide if you want to trade them. FWIW, I'm in the process of trading a CR+BT for a Rare. So you probably aren't too far off if you end up landing a CR.

 

I will add that people who still have BCBVS also have had a few shots at White Chocolate. I for one said no to White Chocolate.

 

So you're only getting the WCs to try to up-trade them for other beers? You have to consider that most people with Chocolate Rain will have/have access to White Chocolate.

edit: Yeah, what beerandraiderfan said.

 

Trading like that is pointless, IMO. When you add in shipping you're just paying out the ass for those beers. If I get something in the mail, I drink it.

As for your question, like everyone else here I can safely say that there's no way in hell you'll get a CR for a White Chocolate. Reserve Society got 3 CRs and 7 WCs, and WC is like half the price (I think, I may be misremembering, but it's significantly more expensive). But you can almost certainly get those other beers with CR+BT, if you can manage to get CR and BT (of course, if you can do that, you can probably just straight-up get Rare/KH/BCBVS).

 

White Chocolate will not land Chocolate Rain... I'd be willing to say that 2 White Chocolates wouldn't land 1 CR.... Your problem with the trade logic is that everyone that has a CR, probably could land as many WC's as they wanted in the Reserve Society or trade for one and not have to give up a big bottle like CR....

 

After everyone ordered their allotments of up to six White Chocolate bottles, there was enough left over for The Bruery to hold another sale for WC, unlimited quantity until they ran out. I met a guy at Kern River Brewing Company who said he ordered an additional 20.

Chocolate Rain? Between our Reserve Society bottle that came with the membership and the allotment, I think we could get three.

So, no, you probably won't be able to get a Choco Rain for a WC. That said, WC is pretty tasty and you can probably get something decent for it from an out-of-state BAer.

The WC, CR and BT for a BCBVS and KH also sounds pretty doable.

 

Stop trying to win at BA trading and you will be more likely to find a good long term trading partner or two.

When these releases come out you may be shocked at the emails you get when another BA says look what I got for you if you are not using their beers as pawns.

 

Maybe a Black Tuesday? Maybe?

 

Don't do it!

 

If they stuff your trading for the white chocolates can't land the CR, why would the white chocolates land it?

 

If you got 2 in a trade... how are you going to share one with your buddy, trade one for a CR ( which of course would not be trying to "win" that trade ), then trade the CR, BT, and a 2nd WC that you say you and your buddy were going to share which would then be empty for a Rare ?

I gave you some good advice. Find some good trading partners and develop a relationship.

 

White Chocolate is almost completely worthless in any equation where "White Chocolate + X = Chocolate Rain". All that matters is X. Both beers are part of The Bruery Reserve Society, and WC allocations were huge, plus there was the opportunity to buy even more. Lots of people ended up with 10-ish bottles of WC. Nobody got more than 3 bottles of CR though. There is likely nobody out there who has CR but didn't get WC.

You're really going about this whole trading thing wrong, on numerous levels.

 

As others have said, the majority of people who have rain already have white chocolate. Even if they didn't, they could get one much easier than having to trade the rain. White chocolate pretty much has 0 pull when trying to land a rain
